Student Advisory Board Selected
Congratulations to the following students who applied and were selected for the Irving Recreation Center Student Advisory Board: CJ H., Melissa L., Caroline M., Shannon O., Alexis T., Cassidy W., and Madison W. Student Advisory Board's main goal is to respond to the interests and needs of students by planning, developing, and implementing projects to help ensure Irving Recreation Center is a great place for everyone.
After School Swimming Clubs
On Tuesday, Oct. 2 we held a brief information meeting for students who are interested in after school recreational swimming and competitive swim training. Roundtrip transportation to and from the Lincoln High School swimming pool will be provided. It's not too late to sign up, but space is limited! Forms are available at the rec. center service counter.
Girlz Club
This month the Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska Homestead Service Center and Irving Recreation Center kick off a new year of our very special after school program just for girls! Everything girls do at Girlz Club--whether it's performing science experiments, creating art projects, cooking simple meals, or learning to protect the planet's water supply--is aimed at giving them the benefits of the Girl Scout "Keys to Leadership": Discover, Connect, Take Action.
Here's how it works:
-Each girl DISCOVERS her special skills and talents, finds the confidence to set challenging goals for herself and strives to live by her values. This includes being proud of where she came from as well as where she's going.
-Each girl CONNECTS with others, which means she learns how to team up, solve conflicts, and have healthy relationships. These skills help her in school right now and prepare her for any career she chooses in the future.
-Each girl TAKES ACTION and makes the world a better place, learning a lot about her community and the world along the way.
We hope to see your daughter every Thursday after school from 3:15-4:30!
